The plot of this book is full of ups and downs, suspense and surprises. I love Agatha Christie's works. She always brings readers into a world full of puzzles. In this book, everyone could be that cat, keeping me guessing until the end. Moreover, I can understand the behavior and motivations of the characters in the book, and their choices are reasonable. This made me think more deeply about human nature and destiny. All in all, this is a wonderful mystery novel worth reading!

Maybe this is the case, the person who is confused with jealousy and greed, the person who loses his life for the sake of gems, the person who gets stuck in the quagmire for the sake of school. At the last moment, people chose to let go. When courage and love trump possessiveness and selfishness, will the outcome be different? Because of this, perfect people are the most terrifying people.

The British have always had a rock-solid attachment to ancient things.

The plot is tense and the logic is strict. Grandma's mystery novel is really a classic.

The king can't help himself

Poirot came out really late, and besides, I thought they were all alone, so check that one!

Three murders, one kidnapping, valuable jewelry, multiple forces, a famous school, a cat among pigeons, grandma wrote about the evil and goodness, jealousy and warmth in human nature👍
